Paul Gustave Simonon was born on 15 December 1955. Happy 65 to, probably,
the coolest bass player ever, who made punk rock history with the last gang in town
THE CLASH. To my eyes and ears the two immortal moments of his career are…

– The cover of the 1979 LONDON CALLING album –
(Flabbergasting photo by the fabulous Pennie Smith)

– GUNS OF BRIXTON –
(The stunning track on London Calling LP, written and sung by Paul)
